[RL Locked to Eva] Wherein Eva meets with Oban and they speak of many things ...
Eva was the first to awaken. The white light of Oban's womb was nearly blinding, and Eva squinted against the glare. Jordan lay curled before her inside the protective bubble, sleeping soundly. His breath was deep and steady, and his body was warm. The connection between them had been restored, stronger than ever. She could tell that he had completely recovered from the effects of the Shadows' poisonous touch, but knowing Jordan, he'd take longer than was necessary to wake up. He was never much of a morning person.
Eva looked about and was suddenly aware that her clothes had disappeared. When had that happened? Was it when Oban put her to sleep beside Jordan?
It was then that she heard a melodious voice echo within her mind. "I see that you have awakened, Eva."
She glanced upward and noticed the tall pale woman from before. The one who called herself "Oban" and who referred to Jordan as her "beloved." The woman pressed her hands against the side of the bubble and smiled at Eva.
"How are you feeling?" she asked.
